Wow ! Thx @Jason Carr for your hard work ! ?

Sorry @Retro808 , I don't have the answer, but another question ... 2 questions in fact ! #01 I have a problem with the HorizontalWheelCoverFactory, with Device image. All visuals are blurry and highly compressed !! I test with 550x550px PNG for 250Ko. I dont understand why !? I dont have fancy adjustment or visual : ImageType="Device" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="2.65" VisibleCount="8" PageSize="8" ItemZPosition="1.0" SelectedItemZPosition="1.5" Spacing="1.0" @Jason Carr or @Grila any idea ? #02 With the new (and awesome) theme manager in BB, how to manage custom fonts ? The best way would be the built-in code, that the user doesn't have to install them by hand. Possible? An example of code? Thx !!!!

Thx @NJDave71. I found a way, completely based on your work on Aeon Nox. Thx man ! Your code is very inspiring! <StackPanel Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="8"> <TextBlock x:Name="Stars" Visibility="Collapsed"> <TextBlock.Text> <MultiBinding StringFormat="{}pack://siteoforigin:,,,/Themes/Colorful/Colorful_img/Stars/{0:F1}.png"> <Binding Path="ActiveGame.CommunityOrLocalStarRating" /> </MultiBinding> </TextBlock.Text> </TextBlock> <Image Source="{Binding Text, ElementName=Stars}" x:Name="RatingStars" Grid.Column="2" Grid.Row="8" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="Fill" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" > </Image> </StackPanel>

Thx @NJDave71. I think I'm going to use your code model. For the 52 stars images, I will create a quick animation of 52 frames under photoshop. It will be quickly generated!

Thx @NJDave71 . I tried StringFormat too. Whis this : Binding="{Binding ActiveGame.CommunityStarRating, StringFormat=\{0:n1\}}" I have the same result as you = 3.2564 becomes 3.2. But 52 images for the stars is too mutch ! I also found in the Microsoft doc the StringFormat {G4} which should round to the nearest .5. But it does not work. I do not know why ... Maybe a bad syntax. I'm going to take a look at Aeon Nox Redux! Thx!

Hi @NJDave71 ! For a new theme, I'm trying to set up a Rating stars, based on community rating. To use a DataTrigger> Setter, I need data by .5 incremental (0.5 - 1.0 - 1.5 - ...) But the community rating are more like : 3.2564 Does your FindStringConverter can do that ? Round values by 0.5 incrementing ? If so, with which code ? Thx !!!

Thank you @Jason Carr for these precisions. I suspected this answer! I thought about another approach : In one Vertical WheelGamesView for exemple, is it possible to have, in same time : up/down arrow = show/move the clearLogo Wheel. left/right arrow = show/move alphabetical index for fast navigation. "Select" mapped button in BB = show de "TextGameView option list". (not the GamesList) "Play" mapped button in BB = Launch the game directly. For me, the problem is that the "TextGameView Option List" is not a single block that can be called anywhere. It's linked only to the "basic game list". The best : the ability to call the "TextGameView Option List" as a solitary block. So, he must take hold of the up/down arrow. If not, bind it to the VerticalWheel block, as it is linked to the GamesList block? I imagine that all this is impossible. But I prefer to ask the question than to miss this opportunity. Thank you !

Hi @Jason Carr and all code masters !! On my (rare) free time, I'm working on some concepts for a new theme. Currently, the navigation is on 3-fold: PlatformView(s) > GamesView(s) > TextGameView. I dont like the TextGameView too much. This forces to finish on only one design, even if we develop different design of GamesView. So, I have a question: Is it possible, in a GamesView (wheel/Thum/Wall), to have 2 active mapped buttons ?? For exemple : - "A" = directly play the game. - "B" = launch option. (the TextGameView) Not "start" button. Something more natural, like all UI. And bonus question, In TextGameView, there is a way to replace each list item by a graphic ? (PNG, JPG ...) And use it like all BigBox wheel ? (clearLogo style) I know, I ask a lot! ? Thx !!!

thank's man ! ?

Same problem for me. Retroarch 1.6 was perfectly configured and worked in LB / BB. I tried to update Retroarch in version 1.7 with the ETA Prime method : The update has run well inn Retroarch, but my configuration in LaunchBox was completely lost and looks like the @usuallee76 screenshot. I have to redo all my extra command line by hand?

Cool !!!!!! This set become a community work !!

man, you are the best ! THX A LOT !!!!

OK, always about my video alignment. For the record, that's what I'm trying to achieve. (screen always in 16x9 | video in any ratio) I think I have found a good track. Here is the code that I use and that works: <Viewbox Grid.Column="1" Stretch="UniformToFill" ClipToBounds="True" HorizontalAlignment="Center" > <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" StretchVideo="True"/> </Viewbox> I include background video in a "ViewBox" to which I apply functions. But there is a problem: The line of code that calls the video binds the size of the video to that of the "Canvas/Background" ! This distorts the video in 16x9. This will be a problem for all non 16x9 videos... How to modify this code so that the size of the video is recognized and used ? To have no distortion of the video, whatever its ratio? I assume it is: "Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" (???) Anyone ? @shinra358 @Grila @Jason Carr ?

About placement in the grid: It's already like that. See my full test code. Very simple : About the UniformToFill on video. The problem is that the command {Stretch="UniformToFill"} is not compatible with this line of code for video = error in Visual Studio and BigBox. The only available command is {StretchVideo="True" or "False"}. The result is one or the other example that I do not want on my visual above.

Sorry @shinra358 , but I dont understand ... Could you please write a exemple ?

OK, but how do I do? Sorry, I'm not very good at XAML ^^ EDIT : In "BackgroundView.xaml" , it's already : <Image Source="{Binding ImagePath}" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Stretch="UniformToFill" RenderOptions.BitmapScalingMode="HighQuality" /> I dont know what else to do here! It's already stretch and UniformToFill ...

Yep, sure ! In this example, The mario pict IS a platform or game video, with transition. And this code must work with all video ratio. The screen stay fullHD, but game video ratio change frequently ... Thx !!!!!!!

Thx @wallmachine , but it's dont work ... I have the second result of my illustration : the video is deformed, strech. With VLC or WMP. To clarify the context, I do some tests. A 16x9 format cut in half. I want to place the video only on one side. I used a grid / column system for cutting. Here is my Platform page test : <UserControl xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation" xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008" xmlns:transitions="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf.Transitions;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf" xmlns:coverFlow="clr-namespace:Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf.Controls.CoverFlow;assembly=Unbroken.LaunchBox.Wpf" xmlns:cal="http://www.caliburnproject.org" xmlns:i="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/2010/interactivity" mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="562" d:DesignWidth="1000" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" Style="{DynamicResource UserControlStyle}"> <Canvas Name="Canvas"> <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" /> <Grid Height="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Canvas, Path=ActualWidth}"> <Grid.Background> <SolidColorBrush Color="White" Opacity="{Binding BackgroundFade}" /> </Grid.Background> <Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <ColumnDefinition Width="50*" /> <ColumnDefinition Width="50*" /> </Grid.ColumnDefinitions> <coverFlow:FlowControl x:Name="FlowControl" Grid.Column="0" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" VerticalAlignment="Stretch" CoverFactory="{Binding CoverFactory}" ImageType="Clear Logo" CurveAmount="0" CameraZPosition="3.0" VisibleCount="8" PageSize="6" Spacing="1.0" ItemZPosition="1.0" SelectedItemZPosition="2.0" /> <transitions:TransitionPresenter Grid.Column="1" TransitionSelector="{Binding BackgroundTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding BackgroundView}" Height="{Binding ElementName=Grid, Path=ActualHeight}" Width="{Binding ElementName=Grid, Path=ActualWidth}" IsContentVideo="true" /> </Grid> </Canvas> </UserControl>

Hi guys ! Is there a way to force a {Stretch = "UniformToFill"} like fonction on video ? I want to use PlatformVideo, with transition, in a vertical grid aera. Based on this code line, I think (?) <transitions:TransitionPresenter TransitionSelector="{Binding ImageVideoTransitionSelector}" Content="{Binding ImageVideoView}" IsContentVideo="true"/> An illustration to be clearer: Possible? Any ideas ?? I cant find anything with Google. Help please!

Ahah thx ! It's only a good bye ! I'll be back when I have more time! I have in mind a new set of video that would be a community work. And a specific theme. But again, as soon as I have some free time !
